Trouble is brewing in the kingdom! The greedy Queen rules with an iron fist, but suspects that a rebellion is forming to overthrow her. Can the citizen coordinate the uprising as they go about their daily lives, or will the queen discover their plans and throw them all in the dungeon?

In the game, one player, the Queen, plays against the others, who win or lose as a team of Citizens. The Citizens attempt to gather 3 Glory cards to overthrow the Queen, and if one of their number does so, the Citizens win. The Queen wins if she can bankrupt the Citizens by collecting all of the gold.

Released in the February 2020 Board Game of the Month Club $20+ package.
